Origami technique

6. Bend the remaining triangle at the top down. Then return it to its original position.
7. Turn the sheet over and start gently opening the rhombus along the fold lines.



8. Bend the triangles on the sides to the other side to the center. Repeat steps 6 to 7.



9. Now make an inner crease on each side.
